This is embarrassing - 9 months since I've blogged. A mix of computer issues, not being a natural blogger, and just too busy. Rather than fill in the gaps, I'll pick up where I am. As summer turns to Indian summer here in western Canada I'm into warm tones. I'm adding a lot of designs to the Summer Heat collection, and I couldn't resist doing a mock up of a kid's room in bright orange, complete with the kind of bunk bed I'd have liked.

Somehow there are never enough designs in The Beige Standard Collection, and I end up adding more. This is because I love beige both for fashion and decor. The new additions are richer, more shaded contemporary tiled patterns with a couple traditional designs as well. I have been expanding the range of beiges as well to include both more pinky tones and some that move closer to taupe.

You may have noticed that our banner has changed to include wallpaper and decals. We have been designing wallpaper since, well actually before, the launch of wallpaper at Spoonflower. And we had the best of intentions of featuring it on a Gingezel Decor site. Then we got busy publishing sci fi novels, and focusing on art, and creating new designs. Adding a new website has really dropped on our priority list.

So, you will slowly see our wallpaper designs appearing here along with fabric. At the moment there are 398 designs. Here is a sample:

There are some really great summer dresses out there in black and white, including polka dots. So I couldn't resist seeing how the Gingezel Black and White Half Diamond fabric would look. So I went into DAZ 3D, and put it on the model Vi I created. Personally, I think the diamonds and stripes give it a little extra, but then I'm prejudiced. :-)
